 Comprehensive and fun October 27, 2008
Natasha M. Spurrier (United States)
The DVD is indexed so you can easily find the demonstration of whatever technique you need. You could also do what I do sometimes: Hit "play all," pick up the needles, and knit while EZ and MS explain it all. It's like knitting with your Grandma!
 Good only if your an expert knitter June 16, 2008

They go way too fast when showing a type of stitch. I'm not a beginner or an expert but bought this CD to learn differnt types of cast ons ect. Good luck if you can figure out what their doing. Not for beginners.

A knitting Glossary by Elizabeth Zimmermann is a DVD that has clips showing individual techniques catalogued alphabetically. It is the DVD you will want to stick in to watch when you are stuck in a pattern and can't figure out what that pattern stitch is supposed to be. The DVD is user friendly, clear photos of technique(s) are shown that can be watched as often as necessary to learn the stitch. This is NOT a how-to-knit DVD, rather it is wonderful to have in addition to E. Zimmermann's other DVDElizabeth Zimmermann's Knitting Workshop DVD which has a book by the same title.Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitting Workshop.
 Great fun! March 11, 2008

This is great fun for any EZ fan. It is not slick or wonderfully produced but still great fun. Very down to earth and filled with great tips and help.

This is one of the best of the Schoolhouse Press DVD's featuring Meg Swansen and Elizabeth Zimmermann discussing knitting techniques. The whole format is relaxed and although sometimes it is a little difficult to follow what they are saying - and there are no subtitles (which would benefit me as I am severely hard of hearing) - the close-up filming of the hands working the knitting and demonstrating what to do are excellent.
I particularly love the section demonstrating how to fix a mistake in a cable by dropping stitches and re-knitting the cable instead of taking out several rows of work. I also adore the demonstrations of I-cord techniques and the huge collection of methods of casting on is incredible. The DVD is fully indexed, so it is possible to select any section you wish to watch, or you can just watch it straight through. Either way it's very entertaining and enjoyable.
This is a must for any knitter, particularly if you wish to take the Knitting Masters course.
